Re: Once Upon A Time ABC

It doesn't make landfall until Monday night/ Tues. AM, but supposedly the northeast will be getting serious winds from Sunday evening on...and some storm surge, helped on by the nearly full moon. From what I read, if you are in NY or north you might be able to get through your Sunday shows before the power goes out. MIGHT. They keep talking about 7 to 10 days of no power...I'm hoping it is a reverse psychology thing so we'll be happy it was "only" 5 days. Anyway, hoping to make it through OUAT AND Good Wife!

Good wishes to all on the east coast.

Power outages just depend on where it hits. I was living in the Fort Laurderdale area for only 3 months when Andrew hit. Dade County was devastated, but Broward not so much. I was about 7 miles inland and we did lose power, but only for a few hours and the worst damage was some trees down. We were very lucky.

In all my years growing up in NYC, I don't recall ever being hit with a hurricane. Our weather patterns are definitely changing.

Re: Once Upon A Time ABC

I lived in Norwalk/Wilton Conn. for 4 years when I was growing up and vividly remember a year with two practically back to back hurricanes that devasted downtown Norwalk. My best friend lived next to water and her house became an island... she had to be carried out over the water. Plus there were repeated other hurricane events...I've lived near NYC now for over 40 years and when I had little kids I remember many days of power outages and hurricanes... but there actually hasn't been a bad one here for years until the last year or so, so I think you must have just lucked out, Florimel!
What's weird about this one is the way it suddenly is turning west...I've never seen one do that and neither have the weather forecasters.
But, back to the show, wind is picking up some, but not rain yet--think we will luck out on getting to watch the show!

Re: Once Upon A Time ABC

Just to let you guys know they have shut down the federal government for Monday. Amtrak and the metro system also look like they have shut down for tomorrow. Here on the Virginia side it looks like we are getting 4 to 6 inches of rain. Right now it's fine, I just finished mowing the lawn and putting some items in safe none windy places. Got my toilet paper and water. The Walmart parking lot is a bit of a mess and that was a 1:30pm. But it still looks good for watching Once and Amazing Race though. Neither of the cats wants to go outside and that says something cause both the boys were strays I adopted and both love to be outside in really crappy weather.
